Susan Andreae is a sculpture and printmaker based in London. For the last 12 years, Susan has been the head of printmaking at the Kensington and Chelsea college. She initially trained as a figurative sculpture graduating with a BA Hons (1st Class) Fine Art, Sculpture from Kingston University. More recently, she has focussed on etchings and has completed an MA in Printmaking at the Wimbledon School of Art.
Having grown up in London, Susan is fascinated by the complexity of living in the city - the crowds, commuters, the architecture and visual energy of urban life, all of which have informed her etchings. She is particularly interested in individual figures within a crowd, sometimes escaping their environment, or blending into the architecture around them. She can often be seen in the streets drawing and working directly on her etching plates to capture first hand the pulse of city life.
